Digital BW, The Print

I use an R220 with MIS UTR2 inks and it's a great combination.  I use a 
mix of the warm and neutral (in fact, cool) set for a look that's a bit 
warmer than neutral.  I like it a lot.

My father has a cheap desktop Canon and it's quite good for glossy but 
truly poor for B&W with major color casts under different light 
sources.  Your printer will have no such problems.

For glossy, give Harmon FB Gloss a try.  Print with paper type ultra 
premium glossy, photo RPM and check super microweave for the best 
blacks.  I also use Epson Premium Semi-gloss which is a decent paper 
with somewhat weaker, but still good, blacks

Have fun!
